Show and Tell: 10 Little Bumblebees

It's Friday!!! That means I get to share one of my favorite things. This week I want to share with you one of my favorite circle time songs.

I think one of the reasons I like this song so much is because I love the props my staff helped me make. They're so cute, and so easy to make!

What you need: black gloves, yellow duct tape

As you can tell from the picture we just took strips of tape and put them around the fingers. We also made cute little antennas, but if I were doing it again, I would just forego that part. Most of them were either ripped off or chewed off.

Why I love this song and the props, in no particular order :)

We're learning about numbers

Putting on gloves is good fine motor work

Getting tactile input from the soft gloves

Learning to tolerate gloves for the winter season

Kids ask for help when they need it

Finger isolation when singing the song

Imitation skills

Proprioceptive input with tickling. I like to tickle when the bees are buzzing all around

Kids share as we have one or two students pass out the gloves

Clean up, learning to put things away and waiting a turn to put their props back int he box

Attending. Music is always a great motivator for attending and staying seated

For some reason Amazon isn't letting me add anything to my Astore today, but I'll add this song to my Amazon Favorites when I get a chance. For now, here's a link to a sample of the song. 10 Little Bumblebees.
